How I love to see you, Lady Moon! You are big and round and yellow. How did you get so high, Lady Moon? You are as high as the hill-top. When I am asleep, Lady Moon, are you roving over the sea? In the morning the sun will come. Then you will not be here. Where do you go, Lady Moon? Whom are you loving? Good night, Lady Moon! Good night!

Go to the window. Look out of the window. Tell me what you see. Can you see the moon? Can you see the sun?

John has a chicken house. He and father made it. He put some nests in the house. The nests are big and round. John has some hens. One is a big white hen. Is the big white hen on the nest?

See this good mother hen. She has some little chickens. They are soft and yellow. Chick! Chick! Chick! See the chickens run to me. Chickens like to eat corn. The little chickens say, “Peep, peep! Peep, peep!” The mother hen says, “Cluck, cluck! Cluck, cluck!”

I have a little red hen. Grandpa gave it to me. I made a nest in the chicken house. I put some eggs in the nest. The little red hen is on the nest.

One day it was raining. The big white hen did not like the rain. She ran into the chicken house. “Cluck, cluck!” said the big white hen. “Come under my wings, little chickens.” The big white hen put out her wings. The little chickens ran under them.

The little red hen had some chickens They did not like the rain. They ran into the chicken house. The little red hen saw the big white hen. “Cluck, cluck!” said the little red hen. “Come with me, little chickens. Come under the big white hen. She will keep us warm and dry.”

“Cluck, cluck!” said the big white hen. “Come under my wings.” The little hen ran under the big hen. All the chickens ran under the big white hen. Do you like the big white hen? Was she not a good mother hen? Do you like the little red hen? Was she a good mother hen?

THE LITTLE RED HEN

A little red hen saw some wheat. “Who will plant this wheat?” she said. “I will not,” said the rat. “I will not,” said the cat. “I will not,” said the pig. “I will, then,” said the little red hen. So she planted the wheat.

When the wheat was ripe, she said, “Who will take this wheat to the mill?” “I will not,” said the rat. “I will not,” said the cat. “I will not,” said the pig. “I will, then,” said the little red hen. So she took the wheat to the mill.

When the wheat was made into flour, she said, “Who will make this flour into bread?” “I will not,” said the rat. “I will not,” said the cat. “I will not,” said the pig. “I will, then,” said the little red hen. So she made the flour into bread.

When the bread was made, she said, “Who will eat this bread?” “I will,” said the rat. “I will,” said the cat. “I will,” said the pig. “No, you will not,” said the hen. “I am going to eat it myself.” So the little red hen ate the bread.
